The tumblers are held in by a screw that holds the cam that unlocks the door. 
Either the screw has come loose, are something broke. The screw originally 
had a little lock-tite on it. If things fell apart, you will have to take the 
door panel off to find the pieces. Do not destroy the plastic vapor barrier 
behind the door panel. 
The door handle is held on by a screw that is hidden behind the weather 
strip. Remove the screw and push the door handle forward to remove it to see 
what you have wrong.
